Subject: NFB DE Northern Delaware Chapter Meeting Notice April 29 2024

Hello everyone!

I hope this email finds you well.  April has been a challenging month for
many people in our chapter, affiliate, and in the world in general.
Creating and maintaining community is an important factor in weathering the
storms of life.  It is time for the community of the NFB DE Northern
Delaware Chapter to have it's April meeting.  It will be held on Monday,
April 29th at 6:30 pm via Zoom.  Minutes will be read at 6 pm.  This is the
first month of the quarter, so that means we will have a philosophy talk.
This talk's subject will be around interactions with sighted
help/assistance.  I am sure it will be an interesting discussion.  We look
forward to talking with you in the Zoom room.  The agenda is below, the Zoom
link is below the agenda, and the minutes are attached.

All are invited to attend, so please invite others, especially your sighted
family and friends.

Also, you may get this notice twice.  I have placed it on our new NFB
Delaware listserv (yes!).  Once we make sure that all emails are included on
the listserv, I will just send the information through it.  In the meantime,
delete any duplicate messages.

Sincerely. Carol King-Ries

President, NFB Northern Delaware Chapter

NFB pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind, to
support the policies and programs of the federation, and to abide by its
constitution. 

NFB one-minute message

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want.
Blindness is not what holds you back.
